INTO ANY RESULT CONTRACT.

PROPOSAL PREPARATION INSTRUCTIONS

A. ADHERENCE TO INSTRUCTION: The offeror must follow the instructions contained herein.

Offerors are required to meet all representations and certifications, and technical requirements. Failure to meet a requirement may result in an offer being ineligible for award.

C. PERIOD OF ACCEPTANCE OF OFFEROR: Paragraph 52.212-1(c), Period of Acceptance of Offerors. The paragraph is tailored as follows: The offeror agrees to hold the prices in its firm for 90 days from the date specified for receipt of offers”.

D. REGISTRATION IN SYSTEM FOR AWARD MANAGEMENT (SAM): Paragraph (k) of 52.212-

1 is revised as follows:

a. By submission of an offer, the offeror acknowledges the requirement that a prospective awardee shall be registered in the SAM database prior to the date and time established for receipt of proposals during performance and through final payment of any contract resulting from this solicitation. If the Offeror does not become registered in the SAM database in the time prescribed by the Contracting Officer, the Contracting Officer will proceed to award to the next otherwise successful registered Offeror. Offerors may obtain information on registration and annual confirmation requirements via the SAM database accessed through https:www.acquisition.gov.

E. CONTRACT AWARD: The Government intends to evaluate proposals and award a contract without discussions (except clarifications as described in FAR 15.306(a)). Therefore, the offeror’s initial proposal should contain the offeror’s best terms from a cost or price standpoint. The Government reserves the right to conduct discussions if the Contracting Officer later determines them to be necessary. The Government may reject any or all offers if such action is in the public interest; accept other than the lowest offer; and waive informalities and minor irregularities in offers received.

F.

CONTRACTING OFFICER, RENDER AN OFFEROR’S PROPOSAL NON-RESPONSIVE AND

RESULT IN BEING INELIGIBLE FOR AWARD.

In doing so, the offeror accedes the contract terms and conditions as written in the SOLICITATION, with attachments. The SOLICITATION constitutes the model contract.

ii) SF 1449 – Section B – Complete the Pricing Schedule in Section B (pages 3-12) of the SF 1449. NOTE: Ensure a dollar value is under “AMOUNT” for each CLIN.

The Total Price or Net Amount for the base period and all option periods shall be used to determine the total price for the FFP contract. The total annual price for each period of performance is the sum of the extended unit prices for all the CLINs. The totals for the basic period and all option periods will be added together to arrive at each offeror’s total price for evaluation purposes.

The form shall be completed by the Offeror's main financial banking institution, and may be completed for the Offeror's suppliers and/or from other businesses having financial affairs with the Offeror. This information is to guide the Contracting Officer in determining whether or not the Offeror has the necessary financial resources to perform the contract or has the ability to obtain them prior to award in accordance with FAR 9.104-1(a). Financial information submitted on form(s) is not a technical factor and will not be evaluated. Rather, this information is required by the FAR in order to be eligible for award and is submitted with the contractor’s proposal to expedite the Contracting Officer's determination of Offeror responsibility prior to contract award.

Upon examination of the initial offers, the CO will review this determination and if, in the CO's opinion, adequate price competition exists, no additional cost information will be requested and certification under FAR 15.406-2 will not be required. However, if at any time during this evaluation the CO determines that adequate price competition no longer exists;

(End of Addendum)

ADDENDUM 52.212-2

ADDENDUM TO 52.212-2—EVALUATION—COMMERCIAL ITEMS (OCT 2014)

A. BASIS FOR CONTRACT AWARD:

1. Award will be made based on the Lowest Price Technically Acceptable offer (LPTA), meaning award will be made to the lowest evaluated priced proposal meeting or exceeding acceptability standards for non-price factors.

No purchase or award shall be made unless the contracting officer makes an affirmative determination of responsibility in accordance with FAR 9.104.

2. While the Government and Contracting Officer will strive for objectivity, the evaluation process, by its nature, is subjective and therefore, professional judgment is implicit throughout the entire evaluation process.

3. By submission of its proposal in accordance with instructions provided in the FAR Clause 52.212-1 Addendum, the Offeror accedes to all solicitation requirements, including terms and conditions, representations and certifications, and technical requirements, in addition to those identified as evaluation factors or sub-factors.

4. The government shall review the three (3) lowest priced proposals first. If all three (3) of these proposals are found to be technically acceptable, with acceptable past performance, the lowest priced technically acceptable proposal will be selected as the proposal that represents the best value to the government. If any of these three (3) proposals are found to be technically unacceptable, or have unacceptable past performance, then the government will continue to review the proposal from the next lowest priced offeror until three technically acceptable proposals, with acceptable past performance, have been found or all proposals have been reviewed.

B. EVALUATION CRITERIA

1) Price Evaluation:

a) To determine price, the basic performance period and all option periods will be added together to determine the offeror’s total proposed price. Proposed prices will then be evaluated to determine whether an offeror’s proposed prices are realistic in relation to the solicitation requirements, the Government’s independent cost estimate, and prices received through competition under this solicitation. The offeror will use the CLIN mailto:david.kigerl.2@us.af.mil mailto:nelson.kraemer@us.af.mil http://www.fbo.gov/ http://www.fbo.gov/ mailto:david.kigerl.2@us.af.mil mailto:nelson.kraemer@us.af.mil formatting shown in the solicitation to establish quantity, unit of measure, unit price, amount and net amount per respective option year.

b) Price: Pricing will be evaluated for reasonableness.

Reasonableness. As there is a high probability of competition, reasonableness shall be established through competition in accordance with FAR 13.106-3(a) (1). In the event that only one offeror is received reasonableness will be established in accordance with FAR 13.106-3(a)(2).

c) The Government will use various price analysis techniques and procedures to ensure a fair and reasonable price. It is expected that the competitive nature of this acquisition will drive price reasonableness and fairness; however, the Government reserves the right, if it deems appropriate, to make these determinations by means of one or more price analysis techniques in FAR 15.404-1.

d) The CO has determined there is a high probability of adequate price competition in this acquisition. Upon examination of the initial offers, the CO will review this determination and if, in the CO’s opinion, adequate price competition exists, no additional cost information will be requested and certification under FAR 15.406-2 will not be required. However, if at any time during this evaluation the CO determines that adequate price competition no longer exists; Offerors may be required to submit information other than cost or pricing data that is adequate to the extent necessary for the CO to determine the reasonableness of the price in accordance with FAR 15.403-3.

e) The Government will review the prices submitted for unrealistically low prices using price analysis techniques listed in FAR 15.404-1(b). Failure to provide realistic prices may result in a proposal being rated unawardable on the basis that unrealistically low prices are an indication that the Offeror does not understand the requirements.

f) FAR 52.217-8, Option to Extend Services, is included in the RFP and will be incorporated into the resultant contract; upon exercise, the clause will extend the terms and conditions of the contract period (Option Year 4) being extended at the rates specified in the contract, the evaluation of which will be considered and included in the initial evaluation of which will be included in the Total Evaluated Price (TEP) of the proposal (to include the base period plus all option periods) as demonstrated herein. Proposed pricing for the 6-month extension will be based on fifty percent (50%) of Option Year 4 where the 6-month extension may be used to cover the option to extend services IAW clause 52.217-8. Offerors shall not include pricing in their proposals for this clause as pricing will be based on the monthly rate of Option Year 4 in which FAR 52.217-8 may be exercised. Evaluation of options and FAR 52.217-8 will not obligate the Government to exercise such options.

2) Technical Factors Evaluation and Contract Documents Evaluation:

a) The government will evaluate technical factors and contract documents from proposals on a pass/fail basis and assign ratings of “Acceptable” or “Unacceptable,” respectively. Separate ratings will be assigned for each technical subfactors and contract documents. A rating of “Unacceptable” in one or more technical subfactors or contract documents will constitute an overall rating of Unacceptable for the technical and contract documents evaluation.

b) Contract Documents from Volume I (i-viii) will be evaluated for accuracy and completeness.

c) The following Table 2 provides technical and contract document descriptions that will be used:

Table 2 Technical & Contract Documents Acceptable/Unacceptable Ratings

Adjectival Rating Description

Acceptable Proposal meets the requirements of the solicitation

Unacceptable Proposal does not meet the minimum requirements of the solicitation

d) The proposals shall be evaluated against the following subfactors:

(1) Staffing Approach. The staffing approach is acceptable when the staffing plan clearly demonstrates sufficient, qualified personnel are available to meet the requirement in the PWS. Logical and concise methodology, to include staffing techniques, were presented to ensure sufficient qualified personnel are provided to meet PWS requirements. The staffing plan included:

(a) A sufficient number of qualified personnel, including responsibility descriptions of the staff, the offeror intends to use to meet the requirements of the PWS.

(b) Copies of Automotive Service Excellence (ASE) certifications or demonstrated 5 years of experience in medium/heavy duty vehicle maintenance for the qualified personnel the offeror is proposing to staff the requirement with.

(2) Quality Control. The quality control plan is acceptable when the offeror has provided a complete quality control plan as required by paragraph 2.1.7 of the PWS to ensure services provided meet the performance objectives and thresholds identified in the services summary (paragraph 2.1.6 of the PWS). The quality control plan identified:

(a) The role and authority of Primary Quality Control personnel.

(b) Methods to be used for identifying and preventing defective services before the performance becomes unacceptable.

3) Past/Present Performance Evaluation:

a) In assessing performance, the evaluator may: (1) use data obtained from Air Force automated Past

Performance Data Bases (i.e. CPARS and PPIRS); (2) use data provided by the offeror or obtained from other sources (questionnaires); (3) use data independently obtained from other sources; (4) rely upon personal business experience with the offeror; (5) consider any information the offeror submits which explains any problems encountered on the identified contracts and the offeror’s corrective actions; The Government reserves the right to obtain and evaluate past/present performance information from any source it deems appropriate.

b) Past performance will be rated on a “acceptable” or “unacceptable” basis using Table 3 below.

NOTE: In the case of an offeror without a record of relevant past performance or for whom information on past performance is not available or so sparse that no meaningful past performance rating can be reasonably assigned, the offeror may not be evaluated favorably or unfavorably on past performance (see FAR 15.305 (a)(2)(iv)). Therefore, the offeror shall be determined to have unknown (or “neutral”) past performance. In the context of acceptability/unacceptability, a neutral rating shall be considered “acceptable.” An offeror may be given the opportunity to clarify certain aspects of their proposals (i.e. the relevance of an offeror’s past performance information, as related to this acquisition, adverse past performance information to which the offeror has not previously had an opportunity to respond or to resolve minor clerical errors).

c) The following table provides Past Performance Evaluation Ratings that will be used:

Table 3 Past Performance Evaluation Ratings

Adjectival Rating Description Acceptable Based on the offeror’s performance record, the Government has a reasonable expectation that the offeror will successfully perform the required effort, or the offeror’s performance record is unknown. (See note above)

Unacceptable Based on the offeror’s performance record, the Government does not have a reasonable expectation that the offeror will be able to successfully perform the required effort.

d) Recency and Relevancy: The government will consider the recency and relevancy of the performance information as defined below:

Recency For the purpose of this solicitation, recency is performance occurring within the last six (6) years from the period of the solicitation release date.

Relevancy For the purpose of this solicitation, relevancy is defined as similar performance of vehicle maintenance services in accordance with given Performance Work Statement.

4) Offerors are cautioned to submit sufficient information in the format specified in the proposal preparation instructions to permit a meaningful assessment of past performance. Offerors may be asked to clarify certain aspects of their proposal or respond to adverse past performance information to which the offeror has not previously had an opportunity to respond. Adverse past performance is defined as past performance information that supports a less than satisfactory rating on any evaluation element or any unfavorable comments received from sources without a formal rating system. Communication conducted to resolve minor or clerical errors will not constitute discussions and the contracting officer reserves the right to award a contract without the opportunity for proposal revision.
